WEATHER AND CROPS.

Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, June I5.-On the 10th
day of every month the people who have
business In the vicinity of the telegraph
offices are treated to race which is never
advertised in advance. This race is run
by boy on a bicycle on the one hand
and another on a small Welsh pony. The
10th of the month is the day on which the
crop reports and the cotton reports sre
issued from the Department of Agri-
culture. These reports frequently affect
the market values of grain and cotton,
and for that reason every possible pre-
caution is taken at the department TO
prevent the premature publication of the
contents of these reports By q special
arrangement made some years ago at the
department the report is given to every
one interested at the same hour
on the 10Th. Tae telegraph Compsuies
always have messenger on hand to
secure a copy at the earliest possible
moment. 1t is after the reports are de-
liyered TO these messengers that the
monthly race begins. Each messenger
rushes to his steed, the boy on the pony
lays the whip on in an exceedingly lively
manner, while the rider of the wheels
works the pedals for all that is in him. 1t
frequently happens that the pony objects
verr strongly TO the manner employed to
make him increase his speed, and that he
refuses TO 90 at ait. When this happens
the bicycle is certain to reach the goal
first and the way the rider dismounts is
enough to brighten any timid person VINO
happens to be in the neighbOrhOCd. On
Friday last the pony baked and as q re-
suit the bicycle boy had practical walk
ever. He arrived at his Office andrushed
in to the receiving clerk, scarcely stop
ping to dismount. "Th- otner Teller amt
in sight yet" was his only remark. But
the "other feller'' was in sight and in
fact had not been beaten more than a
couple of seconds. He saw that the pony
was of no earthly use so he abandoned
the homely little brute He used mis- legs
instead and did not even stop to pick up
his hat when it blew off. When the pony
was caught it was chewing geraniums in
the Agricultural grounds.

Wants to be a Canuck.

The Milwaukee Sentinel of Decer-
Der ID, contains the following announce
ment: THE sorrowing creditors of
j. p Phillips were grieved to learn yes
terday that he had joined the greatAmer-
lean colony in Canada The name of
J. P. Phillips is familiar to many Of
our towns people who remember him as
a boy and young man here, and also
remember certain things in regard 20
him, that make. this announcement Of
his fraudulent transactions less of a
surprise than they must have been 70
his trusting creditors, fellow church
members and the scholars of the Sunday
School over which he presided Joe
Phillips, as he was called here, started
out in life with perverted ideas of hon
esty and obligation and though, since
his removal to Milwaukee, twelve years
ago, he has seemed to be successful,
the final outcome simply proves that
sooner or later reckoning must come.
For some months Phillips financial
affairs have been in bad shape and lie
has been obtaining money on all sorts
of false pretences. Last Friday war
rant was issued for his arrest, but de-
lay in serving the warrant enabled him
to get wind of the matter and gaze
time for sudden flight over the ber-
der. The offense is, however, one for
which requisition can be issued.
Phillips has wife and son in Milwau-
kee, and the Sentinel states that his
father, whom we know well as Elder
Phillips, is pastor of a Baptist church
in Northern Wisconsin.
